Yes, the list isn't very useful if 70 million people are on it.
“send that information to Intel who will do a ‘work-up’ on them,”
Mafia vibe intensifies (all the time).
Thanks to Mr Klippenstein btw, you're really doing doG's work these days.

A true surveillance state aka a facist state
We could say the same to them.
A loose-lipped ICE agent in Portland, Maine publicly hinted at the effort in an exchange on Friday that was captured on video. The video shows the ICE agent taking pictures of a car belonging to a woman who had been recording him, prompting her to ask why. The ICE agent replies: “‘Cause we have a nice little database and now you’re considered a domestic terrorist. So have fun with that.”
The remark wasn’t just bravado or trolling. In addition to what my own sources at DHS are telling me, David Bier, Director of Immigration Studies at the Cato Institute, published a report last month pulling together reams of incidents similar to the one in Portland. The report concludes that DHS has a formal policy of intimidating people trying to film them on the dubious legal grounds that doing so amounts to impeding federal enforcement.
“DHS has a systematic policy of threatening people who follow ICE or DHS agents to record their activities,” the report says.
